(14,570 posts)on here over time, not necessarily from you, but there are people on here who almost always have something negative to say when AOC comes up.
I think she pissed some party functionaries on here off, big time, when she primaried the fellow she defeated from the left. He was headed for a bigger role in Congress, but apparently the people in her district felt she could represent them better. 71%+ in her second term general is pretty good. She just needs to wise up about some of the stuff she says.
Plus, I really like her suggestion that our party needs to do some deep canvassing about racism, social justice, healthcare and the rest of our platform issues. Educating people away from this right wing noise machine is a pretty urgent issue. I think we need a new 21st century Fairness Doctrine so at least labels can be put on those right wing radio hate-shows. Listen to that crap four or five years a couple hours a day, and these people are spittle-spraying xenophobes.
